What is this game?OLDHOME: Children Chasing Giants is about a tradition where children leave home for the first time and go out into a strange and beautiful world in order to return something precious to a stranger.
The default setting takes place in a world where towns and cities have been built on the backs of colossi. Long ago the ground became uninhabitable due to the actions of selfish people, and the last remnants of good rock and soil came alive.
You can also play Children Chasing Giants in any setting where the world has been shattered and rebuilt, and where communities are far apart and interact infrequently but have a strong bond.
